Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, March 29, 2026: In a major boost to Punjab’s connectivity and infrastructure, flight bookings from Halwara Airport are set to commence in April, with the first commercial flight expected to take off between May 10 and 15. The development marks a significant milestone for the region, long awaiting direct air connectivity.
According to senior BJP leader and Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu, initial operations will begin with a 160-seater Airbus A320 economy aircraft. In the first phase, two daily flights will operate between Delhi and Halwara — one in the morning and another in the afternoon — offering greater convenience to passengers and improving regional accessibility.
The launch of flight services from Halwara is expected to enhance travel, boost trade, and accelerate economic growth across Punjab. The move is being seen as a transformative step for industries, businesses, and residents in and around Ludhiana, one of the state’s key industrial hubs.
Extending congratulations to the people of Punjab, Bittu described the development as a “proud and long-awaited moment” for the state. He also expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his vision and continued focus on strengthening infrastructure across the country.
Reaffirming his commitment, Bittu said efforts will continue to ensure that such developmental projects reach the grassroots and contribute to Punjab’s sustained progress.
